How should I prepare for a hair transplant? Clinics commonly ask patients to stop alcohol and smoking for days to weeks before a transplant, and to review blood-thinning medicines and supplements with their surgeon. Never stop a prescribed blood thinner on your own: only the doctor who prescribed it should change it.
What are the pre-operative and post-operative care instructions for a hair transplant? Clinics commonly advise stopping smoking and alcohol 1-2 weeks before a hair transplant and pausing over-the-counter aspirin or ibuprofen beforehand, then following the clinic's own post-op routine. Never stop a blood thinner a doctor prescribed you without that doctor's approval.
What should I consider before getting a hair transplant? Consider your medical history, donor hair availability, and choose a qualified surgeon.
